<p>You do realize that piracy steals from the people who make things, right?&nbsp; Every illegally downloaded movie, or pirated song or game, is one less copy the person who made it gets royalties for.&nbsp; It's not just the &quot;greedy corporations.&quot;&nbsp; How do you think the people who make the IP get paid?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Freedom of speech means the freedom to say ANYTHING, so long as it is the truth.

<p>I'm throwing this out there because I suspect that it's a little-known fact:</p><p>In the United States, the making of campaign contributions enjoys not one but, rather,&nbsp;two types of constitutional protections: the right of free speech and the right of free association.</p>Fri, 08 May 2009 12:54:13 +0000JDKJcomment 215107 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Canadians Argue Against DMCA-like Law in ...http://gamepolitics.com/2009/05/07/canadians-argue-against-dmca-law-mini-documentary#comment-215114
<p>Before I can agree or disagree with your redistribution plan, I'd need to know the value of the current contributions from each camp. If the creators are contributing around 10% of total investment&nbsp;and the capitalists are contributing around 90% of total investment, then the current profit-sharing plan you describe sounds entirely fair to me.&nbsp;</p>Fri, 08 May 2009 11:47:11 +0000JDKJcomment 215114 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Canadians Argue Against DMCA-like Law in ...http://gamepolitics.com/2009/05/07/canadians-argue-against-dmca-law-mini-documentary#comment-215112
<p>&nbsp;I believe that would be part of that revolution as well. As great a system money is for us to exchange goods and service, money itself doesn't really contribute anything to society. &nbsp;It's also gotten to the point where the money system is about finding and making loopholes so that it can self propogate... money has become more important than the products and services that it's supposed to be exchanged for. &nbsp;And the people managing the money are making all of it. &nbsp;Not to mention screwing things up for the rest of us (i.e. the current sh!t pile the world finds itself in right now).</p><p>Anyhow, that's besides the point. &nbsp;The point is that right now, the money pretty much gets split 10% creators 90% business/marketing... I'm hoping that more money will be shifted to the people creating.</p>Fri, 08 May 2009 11:33:13 +0000vellocetcomment 215112 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Canadians Argue Against DMCA-like Law in Mini-Documentaryhttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/05/07/canadians-argue-against-dmca-law-mini-documentary#comment-215056
<p>Exactly. This is because of all kinds of industry pressure and nothing else. </p>Fri, 08 May 2009 00:18:32 +0000Shahabcomment 215056 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Canadians Argue Against DMCA-like Law in Mini-Documentaryhttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/05/07/canadians-argue-against-dmca-law-mini-documentary#comment-215055

<p>Resist Canada, resit the disgusting corruption. As an American how hates the DMCA you have my best wishes in keeping this filth from your own legal codes.&nbsp; </p>Fri, 08 May 2009 00:16:27 +0000Shahabcomment 215054 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Canadians Argue Against DMCA-like Law in Mini-Documentaryhttp://gamepolitics.com/2009/05/07/canadians-argue-against-dmca-law-mini-documentary#comment-215021
The problem with my country is that these laws will probably pass due to the pathetic apathy of the average Canadian voter.Thu, 07 May 2009 22:43:38 +0000Zeke129comment 215021 at http://gamepolitics.comRe: Canadians Argue Against DMCA-like Law in ...http://gamepolitics.com/2009/05/07/canadians-argue-against-dmca-law-mini-documentary#comment-215007
<p>Other countries can be quite wary of campaign contributions from commercial interests. I know if something like that news came out here in New Zealand it would be considered a conflict of interest and there would be calls for the Minister to resign. Personally I&nbsp;prefer it that way, but I have to admit that the idea of US-style lobbyists scares the hell out of me.</p>Thu, 07 May 2009 21:54:40 +0000mirumucomment 215007 at http://gamepolitics.com
